20 Basic facts about the Zionist Regime of Israel Regarding The Palestine Problem :

THAT, when the Palestine Problem was created by Britain in 1917, more than 90% of the population of Palestine were Arabs?... And that there were at that time no more than 56,000 Jews in Palestine?

THAT, more than half of the Jews living in Palestine at that time were recent immigrants, who had come to Palestine in the preceding decades in order to escape persecution in Europe?... And that less than 5% of the population of Palestine were native Palestinian Jews?

THAT, the Arabs of Palestine at that time owned 97.5% of the land, while Jews (native Palestinians and recent immigrants together) owned only 2.5% of the land?

THAT, during the thirty years of British occupation and rule, the Zionists were able to purchase only 3.5% of the land of Palestine, in spite of the encouragement of the British Government?... And that much of this land was transferred to Zionist bodies by the British Government directly, and was not sold
by Arab owners?

THAT, therefore, when British passed the Palestine Problem to the United Nations in 1947, Zionists owned no more than 6% of the total land area of Palestine?

THAT, notwithstanding these facts, the General Assembly of the United Nations recommended that a "Jewish State" be established in Palestine?... And that the Assembly granted that proposed "State" about 54% of the total area of the country?

THAT, Israel immediately occupied (and still occupies) 80.48% of the total land area of Palestine?

THAT, this territorial expansion took place, for the most part, before 15 May 1948 i.e., before the formal end of the British forces from Palestine, before the entry of Arab armies to protect Palestinian Arabs, and before the the Arab-Israeli war?

THAT, the 1947 recommendation of the General Assembly in favor of the creation of a "Jewish State" was outside the competence of the Assembly under the Charter of the United Nations?

THAT, all attempts by the Arab States and other Asian countries to have the Assembly submit the question of "constitutionality" of its recommendation to the International Court of Justice for an "advisory opinion" by the Court were rejected or ignored by the Assembly?

THAT, when the Assembly began to experience "second thoughts" over the matter and convened for its second special session in 1948, it failed to reaffirm the 1947 recommendation for the partition of Palestine-thus destroying whatever dubious legality that recommendation for the establishment of a "Jewish State" had had?

THAT, that original 1947 recommendation to create a "Jewish State" in Palestine was approved, at the first vote, only by European, American and Australian States...for every Asian State, and every African State (with the exception of the Union of South Africa) voted against it?...And that, when the vote was cast in plenary session on 29 November 1947, urgent American pressures (which a member of the Truman cabinet described as "bordering onto scandal") had succeeded in prevailing only upon one African country (Liberia), both of which had special vulnerability to American pressures, to abandon their declared opposition?...And that, in other words, the "Jewish State" was planted at the point-of-intersection of Asia and Africa without the free approval of any Middle Eastern, Asian or African country except that Union of South Africa, itself ruled by an alien minority?

THAT, Israel remained, ever since its inception, a total stranger in the emerging world of Afro-Asia; and that Israel has been refused admission to any inter-state conference of Asian, African, Afro-Asian, or Non-Aligned States ever held?

THAT, since the General Armistice Agreements were signed in 1949, Israel has maintained an aggressive policy of waging military attacks across the Armistice Demarcation Lines, repeatedly invading the territories of the neighboring Arab States...And that Israel has been duly rebuked, censured, or condemned for these military attacks by the Security Council of the General Assembly of the United Nations on eleven occasions-five times by the Security Council and six times by the General Assembly?

THAT, no other country in the world, whether member of the United Nations or non-member, has been so frequently condemned by the United Nations?

THAT, no Arab State has ever been condemned by any organ of the United Nations for military attacks upon Israel( or any other State)?

THAT, besides expelling the bulk of the Arab inhabitants of Palestine, and besides constantly attacking the neighboring Arab States, Israel has also consistently harassed the United Nations observers and other personnel stationed along the Armistice Demarcation Lines It has assassinated the first United Nations Mediator and his military aide; it has detained some truce observers; it has military occupied and illegally searched the Headquarters of United Nations personnel; and it has boycotted meetings of the Mixed Armistice Commissions?...

THAT, Israel has additionally imposed a system of apartheid upon the Arabs who stayed in their homeland?...More than 90% of these Arabs live in "security zones;" they alone live under martial law, restricting their freedom to travel from village to village or from town to town; their children are denied equal opportunities for education; and they are denied decent opportunities for work, and the right to receive "equal pay for equal work?"

THAT, notwithstanding the foregoing facts, Israel has always been, and still is, widely portrayed in the Western press as the "bastion of democracy" and the "champion of peace" in the Middle East?

THAT, the Western Powers have persisted in declaring their determination to ensure a so-called "arms balance" in the area, as between Israel, on the one hand, and the one-hundred million inhabitants of the thirteen Arab States, on the other hand?... And this unilateral Western doctrine of so-called "arms balance" is no more reasonable than the suggestion that, in the Cuba-U.S.A conflict, there should be "arms balance" as between Cuba and the United States... or that the whole Continent of Africa should not be allowed to acquire more arms than South Africa... or that Mainland China should not be permitted to have more arms than Taiwan... or that the military allowed to acquire more arms than South Africa... and that only thus can peace be safeguarded in the Western Hemisphere, in Africa, in Asia, or in Europe?...

Did you know that since the Intifada (Islamic Resistance) Started in December of 1987, the anti-peace Zionist in the Holy land have killed more than 2,000 innocent Muslim & Christian civilians, Injured more than 130,000, caused more than 19,000 detentions, and imposed more than 13,000 curfews on innocent people.
Israel is not only the anti-thesis of a just peace in the Middle-East; It is also the anti-thesis to peace in the US. The American Sponsored "Middle East Peace Talks" are not the solution to the problem. They may even wind up enlarging it.

Israel is an Illegal Zionist Entity.

There is one thing everybody agrees upon and that is JUSTICE! And JUSTICE Shall be Done!
 

A Few Brief Facts About The Occupation of Golan

* Israeli occupied Golan consists of 1,250 square kilometers of land.

* In June 1967, during the "Six Day War," Israel occupies the Jordanian West Bank, Egyptian Gaza Strip and Sinai, and the Syrian Golan Heights.

* After a 27 hour battle Israel had captured the Heights at the cost of 1,000 Syrian soldiers, and 115 Israeli deaths. Both Israel and Syria agreed to the UNs call for a cease fire on June 10, 1967.

* In November of 1967, the U.N. Security Council passes Resolution 242 calling for Israel to pull out of occupied lands and for recognition of all states under the formula of ``land for peace.''

* Rami Tal of the widely circulated Israeli newspaper Yediyot Aharonot, published a private conversation he had in 1976 with Israel's former chief of the General Staff and defense minister, Moshe Dayan. Dayan's account of the situation along the Syrian border from the time of Israel's establishment until the Six-day War of 1967 was nothing less than astounding:

After all, I know exactly how at least 80 percent of the incidents began. We would send a tractor to do some ploughing work in some spot in the demilitarized zone where farming activities were out of the question, and we knew in advance that the Syrians would start shooting. If they held their fire, we would instruct the tractor drivers to keep moving forward until the Syrians would lose their temper and start shooting. Then we would begin artillery shelling and, at a later stage, we would bring in the Air Force. This is what I did, and what Laskov and Tchera (chief of staff Zvi Tzur) also did, and what Yitzhak Rabin did as well. We thought then, and we continued to do so for a considerable while, that we could alter the armistice lines through military operations that would be just short of actual war. In other words, by seizing some land and holding it until the enemy would despair and let us keep it.

* Before 1967 there were 249 Arab villages there.

* When the Israelis occupied it they destroyed 244 of those villages, and only 5 villages remain.

* 147,000 people were forced to leave as a result of the Israeli occupation.

* The displaced Golanis and there families now number 500,000, and most of them still live together in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps that are set up around Syria.

* The Israelis, now numbering about 18,000 in the Golan, have built 42 Jewish settlements in the area they occupied.

* Ever Since Israel's occupation of the Golan, Zionists have spared no effort to integrate Golan history into Zionism. Immediately upon its occupation of the Golan, Israel started mass excavations on the Golan. But instead of finding Jewish remains, it unearthed abundant traces of cultures of Syrian Arab origin, from different ages.

* For a couple of days during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 , the Golan Heights is recaptured by Syria.

* In 1975 Syria gets an area around the town of Quneitra, as a result of US-led talks after the Yom Kippur War.

* In 1981 Golan Heights is officially annexed by Menachim Begin's government, and on Dec 19, 1981 The UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 497 which reiterated that acquisition of territories by force is rejected as stipulated under the UN Charter, principles of International Law and its express Resolutions, and rendered null and void Israel's decision to annex the Golan into Israeli territory.

* Once again on December 4, 1996, The United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 51/28 which condemned Israel for not withdrawing " from the Syrian Golan, which has been under occupation since 1967, contrary to the relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions." The resolution demanded once more that Israel withdraw from all the occupied Syrian Golan to the line of 4 June 1967 in implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions.

* In June of 2000, Israeli officials gave the green light to a plan to construct 350 new homes in a Jewish settlement in the occupied Golan Heights, increasing the community's size by 10 times.

The plot to destroy the ideals of the Muslims

Today Israel and its close friend Egypt are thinking up ways of creating a united front to destroy the Muslims and their lofty ideals. Recently Iraq, along with some of the heads of the other regional countries, approved of this plan. For nearly twenty years now, I have been informing people of the danger of international Zionism. Today, I feel the danger for all the freedom-bestowing revolutions of the world, including the recent Islamic revolution in Iran, is no less than it was in the past, for at the present time these world-devouring bloodsuckers using various techniques to defeat the oppressed and weak of the earth have risen up and are active. Our nation and the free nations of the world should bravely and vigilantly resist these dangerous plots.
Imam’s message, 11 February 1981 (22 Bahman 1359 AHS). Sahifa-yi Nur, Vol. 14, p. 63.

Evil propaganda against Islam

The agents of imperialism are busy in every corner of the Islamic world drawing our youth away from us with their evil propaganda. They are not converting them into Jews and Christians, rather they are corrupting them, making them irreligious and indifferent, which is sufficient for their purposes. In our own city of Tehran now there are centres of evil propaganda run by the churches, the Zionists and the Baha’is in order to lead our people astray and make them abandon the ordinances and teachings of Islam.
Islamic Government,p. 176.

The destruction of the first qibla of the Muslims is the vile wish of Israel

Today, with the widespread arrests of the Muslim brothers in Egypt, Sadat has completed his service to Israel. His alliance with America and Israel has shamed the Arab people. (He has formed) an alliance with an Israel which at this time, in addition to the crimes it carries out in the region, has committed another great crime, that is excavation work at the site of the al-Aqsa mosque, the first qibla of the Muslims; and with the weakening of the foundations of this mosque, the first qibla of the Muslims will, God forbid, be destroyed and Israel will achieve its vile wish.
Oh Muslims of the world! Oh oppressed people under the sway of oppressors! Beware! Rise up and offer the hand of unity to one another, defend Islam and your destiny and fear not the hue and cry of the superpowers, for this century, by the will of God the all powerful, will be the century of victory of the oppressed over the imperious and haughty and of truth over falsehood.
Imam Khomeini’s message to the pilgrims to the House of God in Mecca, 6 September 1981 (15 Shahrivar 1360 AHS). Sahifa-yi Nur, Vol. 15, p. 125.

Israel’s effacement of Islam

The Muslims should realise that in the wake of the Islamic revolution, and the attention it brought to the miraculous power of Islam, all America’s plots and machinations from the creation of dissension among the Sunni and Shi`ite brothers and the attack on Iran - which is the hub of the Islamic movement - to the comprehensive and extensive plan for the attack on Lebanon and those great crimes, are all hatched with the sole intent of effacing Islam and weakening this divine power. They should realise that America’s plan, which is being implemented by the malicious Israel, will not end in Beirut and Lebanon, rather Islam everywhere, in the Islamic countries and in particular in the Persian Gulf region and the Hijaz, the centre of divine revelation, is targeted. Its primary aim is to make the rulers of the region submit themselves completely to the command of America and, more distressing than that, of Israel, and accept the shame of any form of degradation and servitude. In such a climate and faced with such a great tragedy, the Islamic nations should not remain indifferent and should not spare any effort in protecting Islam and the Islamic countries. How painful and distressing it is that in the proximity of the Muslims and the so-called Islamic governments, the usurper Israel can so outrageously and presumptuously attack the innocent people of Lebanon, the dear brothers and sisters of Beirut, and rather than rising up in their defence, which is a divine ordinance and a human duty, the governments of the Islamic countries display meekness and instead rise up to act for the vile aims of America and Israel by training their sights on Islamic Iran and Islam in Iran rather than the oppressor Israel.
If today they can create excuses for their silence (in the face of these crimes) and their help for the vile aims of this criminal (regime) and its overlord, can they also distort their history? Can they deceive the free nations of the world? Can they convince God the Avenger with these implausible excuses of theirs? And the way that they have played with the great religion of Islam as if it were some kind of toy, is this mortal sin of theirs forgivable? How will they answer for the blood of the innocent men, women and children of Beirut?
Imam Khomeini’s message on the auspicious occasion of `Id al-Qurban, 20 September 1982 (29 Shahrivar 1361 AHS). Sahifa-yi Nur, Vol. 17, p. 29.

America and Israel bear malice towards the very basis of Islam

The Muslims present at the noble stations, from whichever nation and religious denomination they may be, must be well aware that the main enemy of Islam, the Noble Qur’an and the exalted Messenger, (may the peace of God be upon him) and his descendants, is the superpowers, in particular America and its corrupt offspring Israel. They have set their avaricious sights on the Islamic countries and will not balk at committing any crime or hatching any plot in order to plunder the huge amounts of resources these countries have both underneath and above the ground. And the secret of their success in this satanic design lies in the creation of disunity amongst the Muslims which they bring about in whatever way they can. It is possible that during the hajj ceremonies, they will persuade some people, such as the clergymen who are in their employ, to sow dissension among the Shi`ites and Sunnis and to fan this satanic phenomenon such that some naive people will believe it and they themselves will become the instigators of disunion and decay. Brothers and sisters, both sects must be vigilant and realise that these sightless, stipend-receivers, in the name of Islam, the sacred Qur’an and the customary practice (sunna) of the Prophet, want to pluck Islam, the Qur’an and the sunna out of the midst of the Muslims, or at the very least to lead the Muslims astray. The brothers and sisters should realise that America and Israel bear malice towards the very basis of Islam, because Islam, its book and the sunna are a thorn in their side and an obstacle to their plundering and because it was by following this book and this sunna that Iran rose up to confront them, embarked on a revolution and was victorious.

Zionism

An international movement organization for the establishment of a Jewish national or religious community in Palestine and later for the support of modern Israel. Merriam Webster WWWdictionary.

"Zionism is a movement for the restoration of a Jewish national state in Palestine. After the state of Israel was proclaimed in 1948, Zionism became largely a movement to obtain aid for Israel's development." New Standard Encyclopedia, Volume 19.

Zionist groups are spread around the world, all centered around the World Zionist Organization (WZO), which holds periodic congress and passes policy to all Zionist groups. The Jewish Agency, WZO, works closely with the Israeli government. Some of the international Zionist organizations include The American Zionist Organization, and The British Zionist Organization.

Zionists ideologically would like to see all Jews settle in or occupy Palestine, and would greatly appreciate the non-existence of true Palestinians in it. The WZO believes that most Jews will continue to live outside Israel, but should work on supporting ''Israel' and on declining all Arab States.

History
Jews, who do not form a nation, were scattered throughout the world, as most religions. Yet, they thought that Palestine, or 'Israel', is their homeland, and they kept religiously hope in a savior, or 'Messiah', who would bring them to Palestine and create a Jewish state there.

This idea did not take any political form until the 19th century. In 1886, Theodore Herzl published a pamphlet, The Jewish State, proposing that the scattered Jews should be gathered into one land, where they could establish a state and be free of anti-Semitism. Under his supervision, the first Zionist congress met in 1887, in Basel, Switzerland, and set up the World Zionist Organization (WZO).

At first, the evil hope seemed and impossible idea. Palestine was under Turkish control and was inhabited by Arab Palestinians. Some Zionists considered other territories, especially Uganda in East Africa. The 1905 Zionist congress, however, decided that Palestine must be the Jewish homeland. In 1917, during World War I, Dr. Chaim Weizmann led in persuading the British government to issue a statement, The Belfour Declaration, supporting or implying the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine. The Belfour declaration was confirmed by the great powers, including the United States of America. Zionist worries disappeared, and Palestinian worries started.

The Belfour Declaration stated:

"His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." Obviously, the declaration was misused, and from looking at conditions today, non-Jewish communities in Palestine were deprived from almost all their rights.

After the First World War, Palestine became a British mandate since Turkey lost the war. Thousands of Jews started pouring into Palestine. David Ben-Gurion became chairman of the influential Jewish Agency, which caused a great increase in Jewish population in Palestine. This in turn, led to a lot of conflict and strife between Arabs and Jews.

The fact that there were many Jewish refugees, especially in Europe in World War II, increased Zionist activity. When the British government gave up its mandate in1948, the same Ben-Gurion proclaimed the State of Israel in Palestine, in accordance with the fierce United Nations Partition Resolution of 1947. He became the prime minister and Weizmann the president of this new state.

Zionism gradually took a new meaning after the Jewish state was established, but the inhuman intentions remained the same. Although many Jews from all over the world soon moved to Israel, many others did not. Zionists, especially in the United States, Canada, and Europe continued helping Jews to immigrate to Israel, and continued their support for this new state.

Theses days Zionism is mainly involved in lobbying the great powers, and making sure that Palestinians never see the light of prosperity again.

What has Zionism done?
1) Crimes against the people of Palestine, murder of Palestinian women and children. Disrespect of the so called "international law" (UN resolutions). Since 1948 the satanic state of Israel have murdered hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

2) The Mossad and the Zionist Mafia operate in the world, their connection with organized crime, drugs and narcotics distribution,

pornography and bribery of Intelligence Services and Governments throughout the world maintain Zionist stability.

3) Control on part of the International Zionist MAFIA of Banks and International Financial Institutions, World Bank, IMF, etc.

4) Infiltration and control by the international Zionist MAFIA of so-called "Christian" organizations, and both left and right-wing political groups to use them as puppets.

5) Repression and terrorism by the Zionist MAFIA against non Zionist Jews.

6) Assistance in compiling a list of the Zionist MAFIA and Mossad controlled organizations and associations world-wide.

7) Economic control by the Zionist Mafia of non-Jewish organizations with the aim of neutralizing them.

8) Control of the Zionist MAFIA over freemasons in general and secret Masonic or pro-Masonic groups such as the B'nai B'rith, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg Group.

And Many More...
 

One of the biggest injustices of the twentieth century - the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel - is being celebrated in a manner bordering on the scandalous. The implantation of the zionist entity in Palestine has been rightly described as al-Nakba (the catastrophe) by Palestinians.

Palestine was stolen by European Jews in connivance with the European powers, primarily Britain but also France (and later the US) to create a western beach-head in the heartland of Islam

The hoopla surrounding Israeli celebrations conveniently ignores the fact that Palestine was stolen by European Jews in connivance with the European powers, primarily Britain but also France (and later the US) to create a western beach-head in the heartland of Islam. This was only made possible by driving out the indigenous population - the Palestinians - from their ancestral lands, through terror and mass murder.
The zionists have peddled the mythology of turning 'deserts into orchards' with the active collaboration of the west. Their claim to Palestine is based on a complete perversion of historical facts sprinkled with Biblical references to geography. The zionists - most of them secular fanatics who have nothing to do with Judaism - have reduced the Bible to a real estate manual.
The zionist colonial settler enterprise was launched by shedding the blood of the Palestinians. It has been sustained through terror, the most common characteristic of the zionists, for 50 years. More than 475 Palestinian towns and villages were completely wiped out. There is no trace left of them anymore.
Soon after the June 1967 war, Moshe Dayan, the one-eyed Israeli general, had boasted to a group of visiting Jews from the US that the present generation had expanded the boundaries of the State of Israel this far. Now it was upto the next generation to take them further. He also candidly admitted that hundreds of Palestinian villages and towns had been wiped out.

Palestinian women were parade naked in the streets. Many of them were bayoneted to death before their bodies were dumped in wells. At least 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes in this campaign to settle European Jews in Palestine.
Israeli Historians

Contrary to zionist propaganda, now admitted even by some Israeli historians, the Palestinian inhabitants of these once-thriving towns did not flee on orders from the Arab regimes. They fled in the face of the zionist terror machine. Deir Yasin (April 9, 1948) was but one example of numerous zionist atrocities perpetrated against innocent civilians. Palestinian women were parade naked in the streets. Many of them were bayoneted to death before their bodies were dumped in wells. At least 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes in this campaign to settle European Jews in Palestine. This obscenity is being celebrated today as a great achievement.
Many leaders of the zionist terrorist gangs - Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir et el - later became prime ministers of the 'only democracy in the Middle East'. The 'most powerful democracy' in the world - the US - has such a close relationship with the 'only democracy' that massive annual handouts are bestowed upon it even while American citizens are denied many of their basic needs.
The zionist State receives between US$4 to US$6 billion annually in aid (grants and loans) from the US. In the first 20 years of Israel's existence (1948-1968), it received only $348 million. But in the next 20 years, this shot up to $82 billion. The last 10 years have witnessed further burgeoning of these handouts.
As a colonial settler enterprise, Israel does not meet the standard test for such an entity. Traditionally, colonial possessions not only stand on their own feet but also remit large sums, in goods and money, to the mother country. The zionist entity, on the other hands, thrives as a parasite on the American body. Without American handouts, it cannot survive. Israel is America's biggest welfare recipient.
If the zionist State cannot survive without US handouts, American politicians cannot survive without Jewish support in the US. This symbiotic relation was alluded to by US vice president Al Gore on April 30 when he joined Israeli celebrations in Tel Aviv. 'We Americans feel our ties with Israel are eternal,' Gore said lyrically. He might as well have said 'without Jewish votes and money, I cannot win the presidency in the year 2000.'
There is another factor that binds the US and Israel. Two hundred years ago, European settlers in America pushed westward, expanding their frontiers at the expense of the Native peoples. Today, the indigenous population of America is found only on reservations. The zionists are pursuing exactly the same policy, only with much greater ruthlessness and efficiency. Many Americans see in the zionists the same 'enterprising' spirit that led to their own expansion.
Gore reflected this in his speech when he showered praise on Israel. 'As I lift up my eyes tonight and see the whole house of Israel, I recognize you.' Indeed. Gore could see his own forefathers in the crowd. 'And I remember the prophecy of Ezekiel - that God would raise you up... and restore your land.' Politicians are prone to hyperbole but Gore was telling blatant lies.
The land belongs to the Palestinians even if Gore was still in diapers when the zionists stole it. And as for God's fulfilling His promise to the zionists, surely God did not mean the gangsters, hustlers, mass murderers and torturers who rule the zionist State today.

Israel is the only country in the world where torture of political prisoners is not only legal but its supreme court actively endorses it. Palestinians are held without trial under what is euphemistically called 'administrative detention.'

Israel is the only country in the world where torture of political prisoners is not only legal but its supreme court actively endorses it. Palestinians are held without trial under what is euphemistically called 'administrative detention.' The maximum period is six months but it is routinely extended. There are Palestinians who have been held without charge or trial for four or five years.
While the western media routinely present Israel as a beleaguered State in a sea of hostile neighbours, it is the only nuclear power in the region with more than 200 nuclear weapons. Its army has grown to 600,000 and it can deploy more than 2,800 tanks and 700 combat planes, according to the Jaffee Centre for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University.
This gives it a formidable military muscle against the Arab armies which it has defeated in almost all the wars. But since 1982, Israel's military has found itself mired in less glorious adventures, including the costly 1982-1985 invasion of Lebanon and its attempts to crush the intifadah from 1987 to 1994.
In Lebanon it got a bloody nose at the hands of the Hizbullah, whose spirit of sacrifice put the fear of God into the pleasure-loving zionist thugs. Instead of confronting the Islamic fighters, the zionists bombard Lebanese villages using long-range artillery and planes.
Hostage-taking is also a favourite ploy of the zionists. Literally hundreds of Palestinians and Lebanese are incarcerated in the Khiam concentration camp where torture is rampant. Similarly, Palestinians held without trial are also tortured in prisons inside what is called Israel.
If young Palestinians are incarcerated, their leaders are expelled from their own land. It is ironic that alien occupiers from eastern Europe and America should expel people from their own homes and land where their forefathers have lived for millenia.
The zionists are also extremely sadistic. Young children are targeted for special wrath. Thousands of Palestinian children have been brutally beaten up by the gun-toting zionists. Young stone-throwing Palestinians have been buried alive; others have had their bones broken with rocks, on direct orders from Yitzhak Rabin, the Nobel peace prize winner!
During the intifadah, the zionist occupiers frequently used tear gas in confined spaces, resulting in hundreds of pregnant Palestinian women suffering miscarriages. Another of their favourite ploys is to mix flour and kerosene in Palestinian homes, making it unfit for consumption.
Despite such cruelties, the zionists have failed to break the spirit of the Palestinians. Every Israeli cruelty brings out an even greater determination to stand up to the occupiers.
As the Israeli military historian Martin Van Creveld of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem admitted, 'An army which fights against the weak, becomes weak itself.' He went on: 'In these instances, the army is the sure loser because its victories are without honour and its defeats are always humiliating.'
Israeli soldiers no longer wish to serve in Lebanon, Ghazzah or the West Bank. An army sergeant candidly admitted 'We have to hide from reservists the fact that they're going to serve in the Gaza Strip or they simply don't show up.' The time is not far off when Israeli soldiers would not wish to live in Palestine either.
Already, Israel is the least safe place for Jews anywhere in the world.

Germany: Ambassador John C. Kornblum

Germany has long been seen as an adversary of the Jews. Thus a Jewish Ambassador places them under direct Jewish pressure.

France: Ambassador Felix Rohatyn

Rohatyn is a former partner in the Jewish Lazard Freres investment bank. In September the French oil company, "Total," invested $2 billion in the production of oil in Iran. Rohatyn is seeking to Veto this project due to Israel's hostility toward Iran. Rohatyn said; "Globalization doesn't carry a threat, but it carries discipline."

Poland: Ambassador Daniel Fried

Chester Grabowski, editor of "The Polish Post Eagle", and others urged Clinton to name a Polish American. This plea was ignored. There has never been a Jew ambassador to Poland before as Jews hold an animosity toward Poles. This is considered as a gross insult. Regardless, Fried jokingly said: "I will now have to brush up on their language."

Denmark: Ambassador Edward E. Elson

Dr. Fields attended Marist High. School in Atlanta with the Elson brothers. He learned that their family made a fortune in the textile business and are big contributors to the Democratic Party.

Hungary: Ambassador Donald M. Blinken

This country has long been considered "anti-Semitic". Budapest has the largest Jewish population in Europe, some 125,000 Jews, only exceeded by Paris Thus Blinken can protect their financial interests.

Romania: Ambassador Alfred H. Moses

At one time Romania was ruled by an allJewish Communist Party under Anna Pauka. Romania is closely allied with Israel. Six members of the Rumanian Senate, three of them priests, objected to Clinton's 1994 appointment of Moses stating that he was closely connected to the fallen Communist Ceausescu regime.

Belgium: Ambassador Alan J. Blinken

Antwerp, Belgium is the diamond capital of the world next to Tel Aviv. The diamond business is totally Jew-controlled. Blinken is in a position to further protect their interests. He is related to the Blinken ambassador to Hungary.

Belarus: Ambassador Kenneth S. Yalowitz

Belarus is located between Poland and Russia. It once had a huge Jewish population.. They still have interests there.

South Africa: Ambassador James A. Joseph

The Jewish Oppenheimer family controls this gold mining capital of the world. The Jewish-run South African Communist Party and the ANC now control the government and loyally do the bidding of the gold interests.)

India: Ambassador Frank G. Wisner

This economic powerhouse has long sided with the Arabs against Israel and needs more Zionist control

Turkey: Ambassador Marc Grossman

The "Kemalist" Turkey is the only Middle East border country with a military alliance with Israel. They pose a threat to Syria and Iraq over long simmering border disputes. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a secret Jewish infiltrator ! This explains the alliance between the Ataturk-influenced military regime in Turkey and the fraudulent and criminal state of Israel! This also explains the opposition of the "kémalian" junta against the rennaisance of Islam amongst the muslim people of Turkey! About the jewish Ataturk: visit the jewish home page "Famous Jews".

New Zealand: Ambassador Josiah H. Beeman

Egypt: Ambassador Daniel C. Kurtzer

Egypt is the recipient of the second largest amount of US foreign aid. This is to "buy off" Israel's southern front. Any hostility toward Israel would end the aid.)

Sweden: Ambassador Thomas L. Siebert

Morocco: Ambassador Marc C. Ginsberg

Singapore: Ambassador Timothy A. Chorba

Zambia: Ambassador Arlene Render

Brazil: Ambassador Melvyn Levitsky

This is South America's largest country and economic powerhouse. Jews have huge investments here.

Bolivia: Ambassador Curt W. Kamman

This is another mineral rich country; copper, magnesium, lead, etc.

Mexico: Ambassador Jeffrey Davidow

Davidow was formerly Assistant Secy. Of State for South America under Albright. Mexico sends the US more immigrants and trade than any other nation.

Canada: Ambassador Gordon Giffin

Thus Clinton has given both our border neighbors, Mexico and Canada, to Jewish operatives.

Cuba: US Interest Head, Michael G. Kozak

One would think that this nation would have a Spanish Catholi "Interest Chief" instead of a Jew???

Norway: Ambassador David B. Hermelin

Hermelin is a Michigan multi-millionaire real estate developer and president of the World Jewish ORT Union. Re owns Palace Sports and Entertainment, "The Palace" of Auburn Hills and the "Pine Knob Music Theater".

Switzerland: Ambassador Madeleine M. Kunin

Kunin is the former Democratic governor of Vermont. Her four children attended a Hebrew school. The New York Times of Oct. 4, 1997 says she, "doggedly pursues the Swiss on the issue of gold for holocaust survivors."

 

<sub>I wish to make it plain at the outset that my remarks are directed to one aspect of Zionist claims-the claim to fulfil scripture by the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine-and must not be interpreted in any other way or be taken to prejudice the claim of the Jews to be allowed to make a home in Palestine.

To a superficial reader it well might seem that a divine promise to give a land to a particular people made some four thousand years ago and often repeated constituted that people owners of that land by divine right. Now if this is the Jewish title to Palestine it must be carefully scrutinized. Accordingly I propose to examine a few texts which are familiar to all practicing Jews, and which have profoundly influenced some Christian bodies, particularly in America.

The points which are of importance are:
(1) To whom were the promises made?
(2) What was the extent of the land which was promised? And
(3) Was the promise irrevocable or was it subject to any conditions?

(1) TO WHOM WERE THE PROMISES MADE?

The first explicit promise of Palestine to the descendants of Abraham was at Shechem (now Nablus) in Genesis xii, 7: 'Unto thy seed will I give this land.' Ch. xiii, 15, when Abraham is standing on a hill near Bethel, has the words: 'all the land which thou seest to thee will I give it and to thy seed forever'. xv, 18 is more explicit: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates'. The promises are repeated to Isaac; and to Jacob in xxviii, 12: 'the land where-on thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed, and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed'. When Abraham made a covenant with God through circumcision (xvii, 8) all the land of Canaan was promised to him as 'an everlasting posses­sion.' Other passages might be quoted, but these are repre­sentative, and others add nothing that is relevant here.

Now it is generally supposed that these promises were made to the Jews, and to the Jews alone. But that is not what the Bible says. The word 'to thy seed' inevitably include Arabs, both Muslims and Christians, who can claim descent from Abraham through his son Ishmael. (Here we are not concerned with the Muslim tradition that Abraham was once at Meccah and left Ishmael there). Ishmael was the reputed father of a large number of Arab tribes 3 and Genesis records that Abraham became the father of many north Arabian tribes through his concubine Keturah. It cannot be argued that the words of Genesis xxi, 10-12, necessarily cancel the promises made to Abraham's seed as a whole: '(Sarah) said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman: in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice: for in Isaac shall seed be called unto thee. And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed'. It is true that henceforth among the descendants of Isaac 'the seed of Abraham' was taken to mean the Israelites; but from the beginning it was not so, and the descendants of Ishmael had every right to call and consider themselves of the seed of Abraham. .

Moreover, when the covenant of circumcision was made with Abraham (Genesis xvii) and the land of Canaan was promised as 'an everlasting possession', it was Ishmael who was circumcised: Isaac had not then been born.

From this brief study of the divine promise to the descen­dants of Abraham we see that the first promise necessarily included all the descendants of Ishmael; but that afterwards in the time of Isaac and Jacob the promise was narrowed to their descendants, though not in such a way as to exclude explicitly their Arab brethren; and it is well known that many Arabs accompanied Moses and Joshua into Palestine when the country was partially occupied; and not a little of Moses' success was due to the kindness and hospitality of Jethro the Midianite, who was of course an Arab and Moses' father-in-law.

(2) EXTENT OF THE PROMISED LAND

The second question as to what was the extent of 'The Promised Land' is a little difficult to determine (3). The passages quoted under (1) begin with a vague reference to 'this land' from the starting point of Shechem (Nablus), and go on to include all the area from 'the river of Egypt' to the Euphrates; the third passage speaks of Abraham's descendants spreading out in all four directions. Here, again, it is important to note that the promise of dominion from Nile to Euphrates was made before the birth of Ishmael and before the birth of Isaac, so that this territory was not to be necessarily and exclusively Israelite; and save for the short period when Solomon's authority was recognized in this area (I Kings iv, 21) it has always been in the possession of the Arabs.

Looking again at Genesis xiii, 15, it is clear that Trans­jordania was included in the promise to Abraham, because it would be plainly visible from the hill at Bethel; but this promise again predates the birth of Ishmael and Isaac, and so cannot be held to constitute an exclusively Israelite claim to the territory on the other side of the Jordan.

However, in the Book of Deuteronomy Moses told the people that God had commanded them to go in and occupy the country from the Mediterranean in the west to the Euphrates in the east, and from the Negeb in the south to the Lebanon in the north. These instructions the Israelites did not, or could not, carry out. They could not occupy the coast land which the Philistines held, and they never possessed the ports or the hinter­land of Phoenicia. Some centuries later in the reign of David, they did gain possession of Damascus, and David entered into a treaty of friendship with Hiram, king of Tyre; so that when Solomon held a great service of dedication when the temple building was completed deputies came from as far north as the region of llama and from the south as far as the modern El-'Arish. But before Solomon's reign had ended much of David's empire had returned to its former possessors. Everyone is aware that the process of attrition went on until the kingdom of Judea was confined to a few hundred square miles of land round Jerusalem, and even this was lost to the Babylonians in 597 B.C.

(3) WAS THE PROMISE IRREVOCABLE?

It will have been observed that two of the passages quoted under (1) use the words 'for ever' and 'everlasting' of what is to be a future Israelite occupation of Palestine. The same word stands for both the English renderings in the Hebrew original; and 'everlasting' is not the proper meaning. The word ('olam) means a long time', 'antiquity', 'futurity', and we read of 'days of old', 'waste places of old', 'gtes of old', 'from of old', and similar expressions, all of which employ this word rendered above 'for ever', or 'everlasting'. Again, a psalmist says: 'I will sing for ever', an expression which the most literal interpreter of Holy Scripture can hardly suppose to be the literal meaning!

Thus, summing up the evidence so far adduced, one is forced to the conclusion that the land of Palestine was not originally promised to the Jews exclusively, and that the first promise was indefinite ('this land') and was subsequently enlarged to include Transjordan, Syria, the Lebanon, and the nomad's land as far as the Euphrates. Lastly we see that there never was an unconditional promise of an everlasting possession; though a long and indefinite period was intended.

We are now led to a stage of history and prophecy which bear more directly on current misunderstandings of Hebrew prediction. Had we no prophetic messages to guide us it would be apparent that these promises of possession of the land of Canaan were not unconditional: the covenant relation between Israel and God demanded loyalty from the people, and indivi­dual and corporate righteousness. Were the people to fail in these respects a terrible doom awaited them. The following words spoken by Moses in the 28th ch. of Deuteronomy apply in parts so easily to the sufferings of Jewry in the past few years that many have seen in them a prophecy of our own times:

"It shall come to pass if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee and shall overtake thee... And the Lord shall scatter you among the peoples, from the one end of the earth; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot; but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart and failing of eyes, and pining of soul; and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee...

Here it is clear that the divine promises to the patriarchs have been annulled by the national apostasy; and when the Assyrian captivity removed the population of Samaria, and the Babylonian captivity the people of Judah, the prophets saw in the disasters a vindication of the divine justice on a disobedient and gainsaying people.

But they taught their people that a remnant would return, and would restore the temple and the religious life of the com­munity; and they looked forward to a time when the earth would be filled with the knowledge of the Lord. It is often forgotten that these men were inspired poets who mingled very practical matters like the Return from the Babylonian Exile with sublime pictures of the desert blossoming as the rose, the lion lying down with the lamb, men beating their swords into pruning hooks, and forsaking and forswearing war for ever. They also prophesied of the setting up of the kingdom of David.

Unhappily, the practical was fulfilled and the ideal re­mained an ideal. Owing to the fact that the things that religious men yearn for were not realized when the Jews returned to Palestine there has been a tendency in the past to interpret not only the eschatological passages in the prophets but also the practical and political prophecies, of some time in the future; and as all prophecies in the Old Testament necessarily and inevitably center round the Jewish people and their relation to God, the Golden Age is inseparable from the Holy City inhabited by holy Israelites. It would seem to be the hope of some that if the Jews could be returned to Palestine and form a state the Golden Age would, in some mysterious way, appear on earth.

But such views are a distortion of the Old Testament prophecies which predicted a return from Babylon and from all the lands whither the Jews had been exiled. And these pro­phecies were fulfilled. The Jews did return to Judea, they did rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and they did rebuild the temple; and after fluctuating fortunes they did secure a brief period of political independence and expansion under the Maccabbees. Thus the prophecies of the Return have been fulfilled, and they cannot be fulfilled again. Within the canonical literature of the Old Testament there is no prophecy of a second return after the return from the Babylonian Exile; because (a) after the Exile all the Jews who wished to do so had returned to the Holy Land, though a great many more preferred to remain where they were and formed the Diaspora which afterwards became the backbone of the Christian Church; and (b) the last of the prophets died centuries before the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

It would be possible to criticize the claim that Scripture prophesies Jewish supremacy in Palestine from the point of view of the Higher Criticism of the Old Testament; but this has been intentionally ignored; and the Bible has been left to speak for itself.

Again, it would be possible to use the New Testament argument that the Church is now the Israel of God; but this seems inadvisable. This short study is in no sense a polemic; but a brief examination of what the Old Testament says on matters in which its authority has been evoked.
